Welcome to On the Colorful Side!

I am very excited to present my blog On the Colorful Side to you all! For my first post I decided it would be a great idea to introduce myself so you can get to know me better. So here are a few facts about me:

I’m a marketing student.

I’m a third year Marketing senior (graduating a semester early. YAY!) I chose marketing because I’m very creative and am interested in all the different forms of marketing. I would love to go into PR, event planning, social media marketing, and consulting. My ultimate career goal is to end up working for a Fashion Retail company.

I Absolutely love traveling

I’ve visited Ecuador, Canada, and quite a few states in the US (thirteen to be exact, but whose counting). I am very passionate about seeing the world and experiencing different cultures. I also cannot wait to visit Europe. Just thinking about all the beautiful fashion, nature, and architectural shots I can take while I’m visiting other countries gets me all excited.

I’m a serious foodie

One of my favorite things to do is eat! My boyfriend, Darian, and I love exploring New York and finding new places to try out. I have many must try spots that I will cover on this blog. Just for reference, my favorite food is lasagna and I love ice cream (all day, every day!)

I am a full time student, employee, and an intern!

I attend university in NY and am also a student worker at the business school I attend. I work at the Dean’s Suite as a receptionist and I enjoy it very much. While at work I get to interact with professors, students, and visitors. I’m also an intern at 1800 Flowers Headquarters. Obtaining this internship was a very big deal to me because I worked very hard to become the Marketing & Communications Intern at Personalization Universe (one of 1800 Flowers many brands) but that’s a story for another day. Some days I have classes, my job, and internship all on the same day and it can get quite interesting to say the least.

Hello world! So if you’re like me, then you’ve either tried to whiten your teeth before or you’ve at least thought about it. Today I’m going to share with you a little bit of my teeth whitening journey along with a review of my newest find, an at home whitening kit by Smile Brilliant.

I’ve gathered up a few different outfit ideas to celebrate the USA’s special day in style! With July 4th two weeks away, you’ll have plenty of time to pull similar pieces from your wardrobe, or even shop any of these outfits like my new favorite tie front romper (under $25!)

With summer only a week away, New York has been blazing hot and I am here for it! All this heat has of course led to talk of the beach, tropical islands, and finding the perfect swimsuit. I have to say, this summer companies have really been stepping it up with the cutest swimsuits and I’ve rounded up some of my favorites in this post.

Fun fact, when I was younger I absolutely HATED the color yellow. I don’t know what it was about the color, I just wasn’t a fan. Fast forward about 15 years or so and BAM! Yellow is one of my favorite colors. Today I’m sharing this colorful outfit of the day.

I have a not so secret secret…ready? I love the color pink! I tend to incorporate pink into my outfits on the regular and today is no exception. Today I will be sharing this fun outfit along with one of my favorite stores to shop at for insane sales and hidden gems. The store might actually surprise you!

Today is International Women’s Day and I couldn’t be more excited. We should celebrate all the contributions that women make to the world every day. There are so many women in my life that deserve recognition for all the amazing things that they have done so today I will be sharing a personal story as well as what International Women’s Day means to me.

Recently I have been thinking really hard about changes I would like to make to my blog. One change that I have dabbled in before but am going to officially begin implementing is outfit of the day posts. My day to day style, along with links, will now be making it onto the blog in short and sweet blog posts like this one. I hope you enjoy!

Denim on denim is a trend that I absolutely hated for almost all my life. I thought only a few people could pull it off and ten year old Daisi vowed to never wear it. Fast forward about ten years later when I became immersed in the blogging world and saw blogger after blogger pulling it off like a pro. After all these years I finally realized the one trick that makes denim on denim look amazing on anyone and I will be sharing it with you all today!

On the Colorful Side is officially 1 year old! Throughout this time I have learned SO MANY things. Today I am so happy to be able to share with my readers, as well as current & potential bloggers 5 of the most important things that I have learned as a fashion blogger.

There are certain things that will always be associated with Valentines Day. Love, romance, flowers, chocolates, and of course, the color red come to mind. Today I am sharing some non traditional V-Day colors that will work perfectly for your Valentines Day outfit!
